Can I secure… Digital Life: canisecure.com provides quick and easy guides to secure things like devices and websites. The project comes from Kraken Security Labs, the team the crypto exchange set up in 2019 to do vulnerability research on third-party products such as hardware and software wallets. The Digital Life guide covers the basics that apply everywhere: strong passwords, MFA with a hardware token as the top choice, prompt software updates and handing out as little personal data as possible. Its warning about SMS-based 2FA echoes Kraken’s 2016 advisory on mobile phones, which tells readers to assume their number can be hijacked and to lock down their carrier account with a PIN and a port freeze. For an email account without 2FA, the guide’s advice is refreshingly blunt: stop reading and turn it on now.
